  Second Robotech War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional world of Robotech, the Second Robotech War (2029-2030) was a conflict between the earth-based Army of the Southern Cross and the alien Robotech Masters.
The Second Robotech War ended in a Pyrrhic victory for the Army of the Southern Cross, weakening the Earth's defense forces to such a point that they were unable to present more than a token resistance to the Invid when they invaded in 2031.
The Second Robotech War traces its roots to the end of that conflict; specifically to the defeat of Supreme Commander Dolza's Grand Fleet.

 Third Robotech War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike the previous Robotech Wars, which were fought by Earth-based human forces against invading alien enemies, the Third War was fought by the returning Robotech Expeditionary Force to liberate the occupied Earth from the alien Invid.
The Second Robotech War left the industrial and political infrastructure of the Earth in tattered shape.
With the Japanese centers of Robotech research disrupted and the North American center of the United Earth Government nearly destroyed, the defensive capabilities of the Army of the Southern Cross swiftly degraded from advanced mecha and starships to late 20th century (pre-SDF-1) technology.

 Second Robotech War Overview
During the second half of the 2020's, little occurred on the planet to change the situation, the only concern was the lack of any communication from the Pioneer Mission.
Another problem for the Robotech Masters was that they were unable to establish how effective their disruption was on Earth and a large number of ships were dedicated to this tactic long after it was rendered ineffective.
Even if the Robotech Masters were forced to withdraw their ships for any reason, which occurred frequently, they would attempt to either launch an offensive to reposition the ships or sneak their ships back into position to block the communications that they thought were critical to the defense of the Armies of the Southern Cross.

 Robotech Companion: Robotech FAQ 2.1 Section I
Robotech is a Japanese Animated (Anime) series that was created in 1985 that used three completely unrelated Anime TV shows that a company named Harmony Gold merged together with a new storyline that created a vast universe of its own.
A great city had grown up around the Robotech project and today, on the eve of the ship's maiden flight, every citizen--man, woman, and child-- was gathering to celebrate their achievement, and to witness the launching of their planet's new defender.
The title, Robotech Masters, is defined as three different things in the Robotech universe: the second saga, the rank title given to the fleet leaders of the alien race seen in the second saga, and the name of the alien race itself.

 Robotech the movie | Retro Junk
Robotech: The Movie (also called Robotech: The Untold Story) was the first new Robotech adventure created by Harmony Gold USA after the 1985 premiere of the original television series.
Thus, Macek rewrote the story to take place shortly before the Second Robotech War, cut segments of Southern Cross footage into it, and commissioned animation studio The Idol Co. to animate a new ending (which was later included on the laserdisc of Megazone 23, Part II).
The new version involved the Robotech Masters kidnapping and reprogramming veteran officer B.D. Andrews to steal the memory core of the SDF-1.

Equally, to claim the Terra LOST the First ROBOTECH war is to fly in the face of the evidence- When the fighting STOPPED, the Tśentrædi Forces were the ones that had been broken and was in defeat, and Terrans controlled their planet, battered and bloodied, but still standing.
Second ROBOTECH War: Though a technical draw (if one wishes to so argue), the Terrans were broken and therefore lost; This also set the stage for the outright Invid victory during the invasion.
Third ROBOTECH War: Terrans are victorious after forcing the Invid off-world.

 Invid
In Robotech, the Invid originated as an alien race of invertebrate, slug-like hive creatures that came from the world of Optera, the inhabitable planet of the Tzuptum System.
Their world was defoilated by the Robotech Masters in an attempt to monopolise a powerful narcotic, the Flower of Life that was native to the planet; the Flower was also the source of an incredibly powerful energy source called protoculture.
Unlike the Regent, who has chosen to remain in the original form of the species, the Regis has genetically modified herself to the point that she is humanoid in form and nearly human overall; she was the first of her race to evolve as she was seduced by the Masters' scientist Zor.

For Earth's Robotech defenders had vanquished the Masters' clone army, and the Super Dimensional Fortress that concealed the Matrix lay inaccessible beneath the ruins of Macross City.
The war for Earth had become even more desperate: the Robotech Masters' Protoculture Matrix was degenerating, transforming into the Flower of Life, which was sure to draw the savage, merciless Invid across the galaxy.
